Windows 10: Why does the Focus assist auto turn on when I switch back into desktop view?

This problem happened on my desktop PC but not my laptop after I’ve update to v1903.



The problem is very simple, and truth be told, I don’t think it’s a very seriously problem. But just for curious, I want to know why ~



when I switch to desktop view, the Focus assist turns on automatically, then I switch to any apps in normal, it turns off. I did a little bit research about the focus assist rules. The problem is the one called “using apps in full screen”, I can just switch it to off. The problem disappeared.



But I think “using apps in full screen” means there’s an app, such as if you using Microsoft Edge in full screen, it should have been triggered. Not the desktop view.





Do you fellas have this problem? Do you have any comments?



THANKS!

Hello Mike, *Smile

Focus Assist used to be called "Quiet Hours".

It's a feature that basically allows you to pause or stop showing notifications when they would be inconvenient.
